I am meeting with a college admissions counselor tomorrow. I graduated high school about 5 years ago and am just now deciding to go back to school. I will be moving out of state for school to get away from all of my distractions. I've already decided this is the school I want to attend. What questions should I ask the admissions counselor? I don't want to go into this meeting looking like an idiot because I don't have any questions. Any thoughts?
I think it is important to have some sort of diagram of your goals to show the counselor with a time frame.
In other words you will be planning on achieving such and such degree by taking these classes your first quarter – these your second- these your third… you get the picture. Ask if they believe these are reasonable and what else might be helpful in achieving your goals.
Also ask about groups and activities around the campus that might interest you. College admissions like to know that students have something to give back and are interested in student life.
Good luck

I would say that at most you might want to know a little bit about the school, how selective they are, their history etc. Some things like that.Remember you are paying them to go to school there.

I would ask what the age groups are that attend the college, what classes they offer for your degree and what the tuition costs are along with what the process is to get yourself registered. I know that some colleges have their own process for adult re-entry stuff.
